It isn't without its fun moments, but Meg 2: The Trench suffers from a disjointed story that drifts for too long before finally delivering a few campy thrills.

Things might have felt more perilous with more finessed CGI.

Observer

What’s perhaps most damning about this big dumb shark movie, however, is how little it actually pays attention to its fine finned friends.

Rated: 2/4

Dread Central

Meg 2: The Trenchis more meg, good, bad, and indifferently. Whether this franchise can sustain the swelling digital carnage remains to be seen, though as an exercise in creature feature excessThe Trenchdelivers.

Rated: 3/5

Drink in the Movies

A stilted and accidental farce, Meg 2: The Trench has laughable dialogue driving a film centered on some of the worst big-budget computer-generated graphics this year.

Rated: 15/100

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Cathy The story line made me laugh. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Mr. Hollywood Not as fun as the first one but overall not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Nothing new here but what else can you expect from a movie about a large type shark Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review TotallyNotTheMeg I looked at the reviews for this movie before seeing it and the diversity between the 1 star and 5 star reviews with the exact same reasons for loving/hating it only made me more excited. Its silly, big, corny, dramatic, and one of the most fun shark movies I have ever seen. Definitely worth the watch! 🦈 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Kimberly H AwesomeConstant action and a great plot. The MEG 2 kept my attention from the beginning scene until the end. My family of four went to see it together, and we all liked it even more than the first movie, which is very unusual.
